Protagonist:

Lu Feng

At the same time, Xiao Feilong's fan group was also extraordinarily lively.

People in the fan group kept sending screenshots of their home TVs playing the "Late Night Food" program, the speed of the scrolling messages rivaling the bullet comments in the live stream room.

While Xiao Feilong's live stream room was still bustling, Gu Manman's food account also updated a short video.

In the lens, she sat on the sofa at home, a large pile of snacks spread out on the table in front of her.

On the TV screen in front of her, the "Late Night Food" program was playing, and Lu Feng on the screen was making Red Braised Lion's Head.

In the video, Gu Manman complained to the lens, yet her tone was full of excitement: "Jia Ren, who understands? Watching a food documentary late at night made me hungry! Right now I miss Lu Boss's Red Braised Lion's Head so much!"

Not long after the short video was posted, the comment section below fell.

"Made hungry by the program +1! Can I still make it to Lu Boss's shop to eat now?"

"Watching Lu Boss cook is simply too appetizing! I'm going to record the TV program later, from now on my rice companion will depend on it!"

"This wage slave is still working overtime, is there a kind person who can turn back and send me a screen recording of the program, waiting online!"

Li Wenyi's fan group was similarly lively.

As Jiang City's famous "Add Noodles Number One Brother", he didn't do any complicated tricks, directly pinning the news of Lu Feng appearing on the program in the fan group.

Then he also sent a mixed-cut video over three minutes long, all food clips filmed in Lu Feng's shop.

Immediately after, he added text: "If I'd known Lu Boss was going on the program, when the TV station came to interview last time I would've gone up to show my face too! Being able to share the screen with Lu Boss on TV, how much face would that give me when I tell people later!"

Among these several streamers, the most contrasting one has to be Zhang Chao's side.

As a technical streamer who usually relies on showing off game operations, today he unprecedentedly didn't play games.

In Zhang Chao's live stream room, he sat in his gaming chair, shouting loudly into the microphone: "Brothers! Today we're not playing ranked, not pushing ranks! Everyone go watch tonight's 'Late Night Food'! Everyone type 'Lu Boss Strongest' on the public screen!"

The bullet screen was instantly flooded with the words "Lu Boss Strongest".

The promotion by Xiao Feilong and the others was like an extremely tacit relay.

From live stream rooms to short videos, from their respective friends to fan groups, they spread the news of Lu Feng being on TV tonight until it was known to all.

…………

In the TV station studio, Wang Mo, the director of "Late Night Food", sat in the monitoring room, repeatedly refreshing the backend data page, his face full of excitement.

This footage filmed yesterday in Lu Feng's shop was previously treated by him and Han Lu as a hot potato.

Even they themselves didn't expect this episode of the program to make much of a splash.

But unexpectedly, less than ten minutes after the program started airing, the real-time viewership rating broke the highest record of previous programs.

In the program's lens, Lu Feng stood before the kitchen's operation counter, wrist turning lightly, the rolling pin in his hand rapidly rolling one dough piece after another into thin wrappers.

Then he scooped a spoonful of adjusted filling onto the center of the wrapper, his slender fingers pinching rapidly a few times, forming twelve neat and even pleats.

In the blink of an eye, a steamer basket of round little xiaolongbao was arranged on the bamboo steamer.

The next lens, Lu Feng lifted the lid of the pot stewing tomato beef brisket, the pot bubbling and gurgling.

Orange-red soup juice wrapped the large pieces of beef brisket in the pot, thick sauce flowing down along the edge of the spoon.

The tomato beef brisket gleamed with a fresh luster under the kitchen lights, separated by the screen one could seemingly smell that enticing fragrance.

Outside the screen, quite a few viewers watching the program were continuously swallowing saliva at the TV, some posting updates on social platforms.

"Couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, bored watching 'Late Night Food', result is even more unable to sleep!"

"Help! Seeing this program past ten at night is simply taking my life!"

"Clearly I've eaten dinner, but after watching this program I silently opened the fridge to look for food."

"Even across the screen it makes my stomach growl non-stop, this Boss's technique is too awesome!"

"This shop is on Food Street? Haven't gone there to stroll in a long time, when did such a treasure shop newly appear? I'll go take a look tomorrow!"

"Upstairs don't waste your effort, didn't you hear the host introduce in the program? That shop's business hours are Monday to Friday, what time it opens next week still depends on the Boss's mood!"

"Too much! Hooking the glutton in my stomach, now telling me I can't eat tomorrow either?"

"Opens Monday right, I've decided to ask for leave Monday, if I don't go eat this kind of delicacy once, it would simply be the biggest regret of this life!"

In the vast Jiangcheng, tonight in countless rooms with lights on, countless people stared at the screen at the food Lu Feng made, swallowing saliva.

Wang Mo and Han Lu never expected, no matter what, that this documentary they both completely didn't look favorably on would, on this night, ignite countless people's anticipation for food.

…………

At twelve midnight, today's business hours ended.

This also meant Lu Feng's business for this week drew a perfect period.

The diners in the hall reluctantly said "see you next week", leaving Lu Feng's shop one after another.

Not many minutes after the last diner left the shop, Han Lu, who had come at noon, appeared at the shop door.

"Lu Boss, hello."

As soon as Han Lu entered, she wore a sincere smile: "Is it convenient to chat with you about the noon matter now?"

After tonight's program aired, the backend data rose steadily all the way.

After the program ended, Chief Editor Chen personally came to the "Late Night Food" office, expressing congratulations to them with an excited face.

Tonight's viewership rating for Lu Feng's shop already faintly showed signs of becoming the station's number one in viewership.

If they can strike while the iron is hot next, and air a few more episodes later.

"Late Night Food" will steadily be the station's most popular program.

As the program's host, Han Lu immediately volunteered to Chief Editor Chen to continue communicating with Lu Feng about the follow-up documentary filming matters.

Lu Feng came out from the Kitchen and saw that this time only Han Lu had come over by herself.

Before, when she came, she always brought a filming crew with her, which always made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

This time she came alone, with no one else watching from the side, and Lu Feng felt much more relaxed.

"Sure, sit down."

Lu Feng pointed at the chairs in the Hall, nodded, and said to Han Lu.

After Han Lu sat down, she took out a folder from her Pack, smiled, and said to Lu Feng: "Lu Boss, after I went back I made a Portion of a plan, regarding how many episodes the series would shoot, the focus of each episode, and the questions that would be asked of you during filming — all written very clearly. Why don't you take a look first?"

"So Much?"

Lu Feng was a bit dumbfounded, looking at the folder Han Lu handed over, and did not reach out to take it.
